Computerized (GOTO) Telescopes

Starting to learn the night sky from a light polluted area is quite easy; only a few stars to learn and see. Viewing from a dark sky for the first time can be startling but confusing. With the assistance of a GoTo Computerized Telescope, the amateur astronomer can have their telescopes guide them through the night sky through a few basic initial steps (these steps can differ depending on what alignment system the telescope mount accepts). With a simple computerized hand controller, time and date must be entered (if there is no built in GPS system) and the observer must slew to two named stars so the computerized GoTo mount can calculate coordinates accurately. Always make sure the mount is properly balanced prior to alignment; helps in accuracy. Some of the most common alignment systems include the Celestron All-Star, Two-Star, Sky-Align, Meade AutoAlign, and Vixen's StarBook Ten.

Getting the perfect mount and the perfect optical tube is key to a successfull and memorizing stargazing experience. With a combination of Celestron's own and mighty CGEM DX Equatorial mount and 14" EdgeHD OTA

All glass, fully coated optics reveal the depths of our solar system and the wonders of the Universe. Fully adjustable tripod features a convenient accessory tray. Easy to use computerized hand control allows user to locate objects

For basic astronomy viewing, the Celestron LCM76 Newtonian Reflector will suit those needs. The telescope can be assembled and set up in no time, simply mount the optical base and observing can begin - absolutely no additional tools are necessary!

Still bearing the Celestron’s famous Starbright XLT coatings on every mirror and lens surface, the EdgeHD optics guarantees enhanced light throughput across the widest possible photographic and visual spectrum.

Celestron caps off its long list of visual instruments with the CPC Deluxe 925 HD Computerized Telescope. This telescope is packed with technological advances, making it one of the most popular astrophotography tools.

The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system in space. Meade's all new LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere.
